deep cuts to the pentagon budget, and it assumes that the wars are going to eventually end in iraq and afghanistan on a date, right? now, boehner's problem with the reid plan is that it takes the big three right off the table. and of course, the real republican two-step is to kill the new deal and defeat president obama and create more opportunities for more tax breaks at the top. neither one of these plans tonight, it must be pointed out that this is somewhat of a capitulation on the parts of the liberals and the democrats -- neither one of these plans has a tax increase. so that is a victory in itself for the republicans, isn't it? get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question, what do republicans really want? debt reduction or failure of president obama? text "a" for debt reduction, text "b" for failure of president obama to 662639, and you can always go to our blog at ed.msnbc.com. we'll bring you the results later on in the program. i thought tonight john boehner looked like aç schoolyard bull who wanted it his way and no other way. and i found it interesting t

me being over there in afghanistan and me being here, one of the worst feelings ever. she hasn't always been there for me. it's void in my life. i did get one letter from her and i was really surprised. i must have read it 10, 15 time she told me she was proud of me. my whole life i always tried to make her proud. always tried to do my best in sports, tried looking the best, dressing nice. i joined the marine corps just for her just to get her to be proud of me for once, make me think she would stay out of trouble if she was proud of her son and not go back to jail so many times, just for me once, but it seems like she always goes back to her life and she chooses her life over me and that's always been the hardest part. >> i love you, baby. i worry so much. sit down. hello. how are you? >> i'm good. how are you? >> better now that i see you. i worry about you very much. i'm sorry i'm not there. >> it's okay. >> when are you going overseas again? >> i don't know yet. >> you don't know. i see the news all the time, you know, things that are happening over there, you see

many of us who voted for it who were against the iraq war, were against credit card funding of the afghanistan war, we're against what congress voted for, americans voted for it and we have to pay our bills. >> congressional members said they met with the president a month ago and they asked him, are you going to throw us under the bus? and they're telling me tonight they were thrown under the bus. do you feel that way? >> you know what, what i'm hoping is this. when the president is talking about medicare and social security, it's about making medicare and social security strong, survivable and sustainable. and when president reagan and speaker o'neal, democrat and republican, joined hands on social security, it was about making it stronger. it wasn't about raiding social security to cover tax cuts for the rich. so that's the real question. there is enormous anxiety. >> why are we even talking about this when you've got 80% of the american people who don't want to go down this road? >> there are two interpretations. number one, we shouldn't be doing it, because medicare should be discussed on
